Delta plane crashes, flips upside down while landing in Toronto from Minneapolis
-
There are claims that just before the accident, someone said "Do a barrel roll!" on the radio.
-
God dammit, Peppy!
-
Haven't there been 4?
I just looked it up and yeah, there have been 4 in just a few weeks: https://www.fox4news.com/news/deadly-plane-crashes-2025-timeline

Four is politics.
-
Imagine being such a Russian pawn that you immediately bring the aviation industry down to Russia's level.
-
There is no way all these sudden crashes are a fluke. There were hardly any for last several months and now it's almost weekly.
-
Five is a number.
-
Do you know this from data, or just what's reported in the news?
-
If you are referring to Trump as the pawn, I would like to remind you that this airport in not (yet) in the U.S., and that Pearson has its own ATC.
Also, Pearson is one of the worst airports in the modern world. -
This one was in Canada
-
Seems pretty incredible that it flipped over and lost a wing, presumably with fuel still, but everyone survived. I'm glad it's only injuries.
-
6 is just great
-
I see Denzel’s got his pilots license back
-
I would separate the ones involving major airline, and the one involving private jets/smaller planes. Alaska has the reputation to be a place where people fly without a licence (Or lost their licence due to drunk-flying but kept flying) and winter ops there sounds like a bit more extreme than regular air-lines.
But indeed, planes aren't supposed to do barrel roll on the runaway. not sure what happened, I expect to see some interesting "air-crash investigation " video in the coming years (Yes I am too lazy to read the report by myself)
-
It's so cold right now the plane said "fuck this, you guys try keeping me warm now."
-
Delta is an American airline.
-
Yeah I know, but it originated from Minneapolis and landed in Toronto Pearson Airport, which is very close to the US border (it's literally across the lake from New York). Different country, but really not that different since the airplane is also from a US airline with a US pilot.
Anyway, it's just uncanny how many planes have been crashing lately in a relatively short span of time.
-
"Doug Ford is glad there were no casualties." Dude, 17 people went to the hospital, what're you talking about? Did he mean fatalities?
-
There are several definitions of casualty, some mention "serious injury or death" while others refer to "death through injury, illness or violence".
So the his statement is at the very least not obviously misleading.
